Mass Effect 3 Prop - Monomolecular Blade - 3D Printed and Assembled

Got around to paint this sword at last! A couple setbacks (notably breaking the blade in half by accident, but nothing some hard metal wire, super glue and sanding couldn't fix). Going to have to be careful during conventions though. More to come about other props!

Mass Effect 3 Prop - Black Widow - High-Poly Model

First actual official 3D commission, I'm excited. A friend of mine (MNC Props) called on my skills to model and print the famous Black Widow sniper rifle from Mass Effect 3 for his Legion cosplay. It will be printed to 1:1 scale on my Ender 3 after the next pass of modeling which will determine how the prop will be cut. It'll be my biggest print by far!

Mass Effect 3 Prop - M-5 Phalanx - High-Poly Model

So, I,ve been working on something big these past months, hence the gap in posts. I'm making a prop for my sister's Kasumi cosplay from Mass Effect 3, the M-5 Phalanx! During this projects, I've discovered a love for smoothing-groups-based turbosmoothing and booleans. I've now printed it on my Ender 3 and it's going to have trigger-operated LEDs and will be able to be disassembled to access its circuits and battery. I'm having a blast on this project. Images of the printed prop coming soon.
